|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting pulmonary functions of physicalcharacteristics in adults 20 to 23 years aged.
Methods: Twenty-four subjects(22.25±1.48) participated in the experiment. The pulmonary functions;FVC(forced vital capacity), FEV1(forced expiratory volume in one second), FEV1/FVC was measured usinga portable spirometer, the abdominal muscle thickness was measured using ultrasound during inspiration andexpiration, muscle strength was measured using a handheld dynamometer.
Results: Changes in abdominal muscle thickness during respiration, and muscle strength in the upper extremityand neck were positively correlated with pulmonary functions(p<.05).
Conclusion: Abdominal, upper extremity and neck exercises can be recommended as an intervention forimproving pulmonary functions.
